　　中秋节为什么要吃月饼和赏月

　　"Zhong Qiu Jie", which is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. It is a time for family members and loved ones to congregate and enjoy the full moon - an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck. Adults will usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping hot Chinese tea, while the little ones run around with their brightly-lit lanterns.

　　农历八月十五日是中国的传统节日——中秋节。在这天，每个家庭都团聚在一起，一家人共同观赏象征丰裕、和谐和幸运的圆月。此时，大人们吃着美味的`月饼，品着热腾腾的香茗，而孩子们则在一旁拉着兔子灯尽情玩耍。

　　"Zhong Qiu Jie" probably began as a harvest festival. The festival was later given a mythological flavour with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful lady in the moon.

　　中秋节最早可能是一个庆祝丰收的节日。后来，月宫里美丽的仙女嫦娥的神话故事赋予了它神话色彩。

　　According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it. One day, all 10 suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat. The earth was saved when a strong archer, Hou Yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 of the suns. Yi stole the elixir of life to save the people from the tyrannical rule, but his wife, Chang-E drank it. Thus started the legend of the lady in the moon to whom young Chinese girls would pray at the Mid-Autumn Festival.

　　传说古时候，天空曾有10个太阳。一天，这10个太阳同时出现，酷热难挡。弓箭手后翌射下了其中9个太阳，拯救了地球上的生灵。他偷了长生不死药，却被妻子嫦娥偷偷喝下。此后，每年中秋月圆之时，少女们都要向月宫仙女嫦娥祈福的传说便流传开来。

　　In the 14th century, the eating of mooncakes at "Zhong Qiu Jie" was given a new significance. The story goes that when Zhu Yuan Zhang was plotting to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty started by the Mongolians, the rebels hid their messages in the Mid-Autumn mooncakes. Zhong Qiu Jie is hence also a commemoration of the overthrow of the Mongolians by the Han people. Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this event.

　　在14世纪，中秋节吃月饼又被赋予了一层特殊的含义。传说在朱元璋带兵起义推翻元朝时，将士们曾把联络信藏在月饼里。因此，中秋节后来也成为汉人推翻蒙古人统治的纪念日。今天，人们吃月饼纪念此事。

　　中秋节传统食品：

　　吃甜味月饼饮花茶最好，有香甜兼收之妙;吃咸味月饼饮乌龙茶或绿茶为佳，有清香爽口之感。浓茶和咖啡中含较高的咖啡因，汽水、可乐或果汁等含有大量热量和糖份，与月饼搭配吃无助于健康，而且更油腻。酸味水果配月饼

　　月饼搭配时令水果食用也是有讲究的。可多选择橙色、酸味、富含维生素C的品种，如奇异果、番石榴、橙子、西瓜和香蕉等。这些水果能对高脂肪、高蛋白物质的代谢起到抗氧化作用，从而保护心脑血管。但像桃、李、杏、梨和苹果等水果含糖份太高，榴莲含高蛋白和高热量，应节制食用。吮田螺、喝啤酒

　　广州人很喜欢在中秋节的晚上边赏月边吃田螺，据说有“明眼”的作用。故有许多广州人都喜欢在晚饭之后，邀约三五知己，又或是心仪之人，围坐一起，一边欣赏月色，一边聊天吮田螺，吃时，还伴两三瓶啤酒，低尝浅酌，把酒谈心，叙述人生乐事。清煮芋头蘸糖吃

　　广东各地有中秋节吃芋头的习俗，据说是纪念元末杀鞑子的历史故事。中秋节杀鞑子後，便以其头祭月，后来改以芋头代替。至今广东人剥芋皮时仍称为“剥鬼皮”。芋头的吃法是将整个芋头(一般是小芋头)煮熟装在碟上，剥了芋皮就茶吃，或蘸白砂糖、蜜糖吃，抑或蘸甜蜜酱(略咸的那种)吃。也可以将熟芋头剥了皮切粒，用虾米、腊肠、叉烧加青葱炒来吃。有老人说，中秋节吃了芋头，福气就会向你冲过来。
